They have to I mean, they don't. I think they should and will but the players are grown adults who don't have to do anything they don't want to. Quote

If this happened with someone you worked with that you were close to, you have to go back to work, right? You may not be up for it, or wanna do it, but bottom line is, you have to. This isn't hard Quote

But it's the players who have the actual power here even if the team gets punished. 1 Quote
HOUSE Posted January 5, 2023 Author Posted January 5, 2023 Do you guys really believe the Bills players (at this time )care about the #1 seed. I hate to break it to you, nope, they don't. 3 Quote

The priority is on supporting their brother, but will return to business. 1 1 Quote
Scott7975 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I think the Bills will play. If they chose not to, I wouldnt have a problem with it. Who am I to judge or be mad at a team that pretty much just watched their brother die on the field and is currently fighting for his life in the hospital. Thats a lot of trauma to witness and everyone reacts handles those emotions differently. 1 Quote

I don't think it will. But nobody HAS to do anything. But the odds of someone quitting over that probably won't happen. And the Bills as a team can't just quit going to work. Maybe the whole nfl should just shut down. This is insane Quote

Your personal decision about how they need to handle their lives? 😂 Let me ask you in terms you might understand better, what happens to the league, if the Bills only play 15 games, the Bengals play 16 and the rest of the league plays 17? In literally a 2 week time frame this all has to be decided. How would they proceed with the playoffs? Quote
zow2 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I was listening to Booger on TV, and he was saying that if he was a current teammate, he would not suit up for an NFL football game again until there was 100% assurance that Damar was going to be fine. He said it’s too much emotion in a game and he would not be in the mindset to play now. So if we assume even a fraction of the current Bills feel like this, they legitimately could decide not to play. And Troy Vincent i believe indicated that McDermott was having a very difficult time too. Quote

I’m sure the league has smart enough people to figure how to deal with that extremely unlikely scenario. The fact that you don’t like that happening or can’t fathom what would happen, if it did, doesn’t mean they can’t figure out a solution. Quote
BillsFanSD Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 14 minutes ago, WotAGuy said: It’s not so much that they won’t eventually move on, it’s anonymous posters telling them what they “need” to do and how soon they “need” to do it. It’s hilarious actually. Even if the player agreed with what you’re saying they would still make sure you know your opinion of what they need to do doesn’t matter. I doubt that too. Professional football players are human beings, just like you and me. Very adults would be wiling to say "I know you saw somebody on fire from a car accident, but my trauma is worse than yours." Like, not a soul would say that. Quote
